As of January 1, 1996, church membership is only achieved through baptism, as Sweden is currently negotiating a separation of church & state to be enacted by 2000.

By law, every citizen automatically becomes a member at birth. Today, the church seems to have little influence on daily Swedish life. Church attendance is fairly low, except at Christmas and Easter. Yet, although anyone who wishes to leave the church can avoid a small tax, more than 95% are still members. Most Swedes still turn to the church for marriages and funerals. " |

The most up to date numbers (31-12-2003) are the following: Numbers of members: 7,143,292. That is equivalent to 79.6 % of the population. Immigration, higher numbers of members leaving church the last years, and declining baptism rates, are the primary explanations to the declining relative membership rates. The Chuch of Sweden used to be a 'state-church' with a monopoply status in the Swedish society. In 2000, the legal relation between the state and the church came to an end. Until then, the governtment appointed the bishops, and were the legislative authority of the church. Now, the influence has moved to the Church's own parliament (since the Church of Sweden is a democratic organisation). " |
